It feels like home in Paris

BY YETUNDE OSHODI

Coming to Paris often means having to possibly do some serious saving or some serious compromising when it comes to accommodations. Hotel prices can be hefty if you want a little more than a box to sleep in. Even some of the higher priced hotels may still only offer beautiful but tight spaces.

However should you wish to consider an alternative to hotels that will let you have more space, more freedom and truly feel like a local for a brief period of time, why not check out short-term apartment rentals as a great alternative and here’s the rub, you are certainly not spoiled for choice.

In the Parisian market we feel that one small company stands out primarily due to its amazing service. This gem is called “Feels Like Home in Paris”.

Started in 2005, Feels Like Home in Paris has been offering vacation rental apartments ranging from studio to 2 bedrooms located mainly in Montmartre, Paris’ Bohemian northern district as well as properties in the 9th, 10th and 11th district.

Here’s what Feels Like Home has to say about themselves: “The Feels Like Home in Paris method of hospitality comes with a personal touch – From the email correspondences to the meet and greet, you’ll be sure to feel the difference. Our hope is that we somehow manage to transfer our passion for what we do and where we live, to help set you off on the right foot to a wonderful holiday in Paris.

Your stay in Paris starts off with an introduction to your comfortable, relaxing apartment by a local (that’s us), to help you feel like a native. From finding the local boulangerie or utilizing the bus instead of just the metro, you will feel at ease after the brief but thorough orientation.

Our welcome book has all the information you will need about food shopping, local restaurants and more. We provide you with a welcome basket full of special goodies to get you started on an enjoyable Parisian experience – wine, French biscuits, jams, coffee and more.

We hope to be able to provide you with the opportunity to create long-lasting memories here in Paris, as we have.”

Long story short, the guests seem to have a similar take on the service. i.e.
